"Onboarding shouldn't be about chasing paperwork. In 2026, the best employee experience starts before the first cup of office coffee is poured."
What is Zero-Touch Onboarding?
Zero-touch onboarding is an automated HR strategy that eliminates manual intervention between offer acceptance and an employee's first day. By using API-driven workflows, Kiework provisions SaaS accounts, manages asset shipping, and handles document e-signatures instantly, reducing HR administrative load by 90% while ensuring 100% data integrity.
Automation Checklist
- Instant Account Provisioning: Automatically create Google/Microsoft 365, Slack, and Jira accounts upon signature.
- Automated Asset Shipping: Integration with logistics platforms to ship hardware directly to remote locations.
- Dynamic Welcome Hub: A personalized portal where new hires see their team, tools, and schedule instantly.
